everything you have heard about this movie is true.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The first must-see film of the year.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Brick is a moody atmospheric mystery film with dialogues straight out of a 1940's hard-boiled detective masterpiece with visuals influenced cowboy bebop, the film takes place in a High School and you might think that teenager doing detective work is silly well the movie makes jokes about that, the film is very cheap in a good way because the film is about high schoolers so it adds to the mystique, the sound quality is little muddied in some places and will i do like the dialogue it does sound a little confusing because of sound quality, some of the side characters are under used, overall the movie is great you should watch it

Anyone who loves cinema and isn't full of themselves will love this movie. It manages to both satirize two genres while also being a well-constructed example of both. It does this by taking one classic vocabulary of sociopathic behavior (1930's gangster movies) and applies it to different set of sociopathic characters (self-absorbed, oh-so-serious teenagers).I have only two complaints. The first is that the dialog can be so stylized (in a beautifully realized combination of teen slang and gangster-speak) that you may want to use subtitles (or just watch the film again immediately). Yet, the dialog is often inventive (sometimes hilariously) and is definitely worth the time to watch.The other complaint is the number of one-star reviews I am seeing from people who, to be honest, cannot possibly meet the qualifications I mentioned at the beginning of this review. I can only guess that they came into this movie with a fixed idea of what it was going to be like and refused to change that expectation (or maybe they just needed those subtitles). But that is this movie's most obvious strength: It is simply not what you expect.

It May not be Black & White, but Brick does follow the same structure as a film noir because of its mystery sort of feeling or mood to it. I like the modern take of it and especially the characters, like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, all do an amazing job of playing their characters.I Think the general tone, or mood of the film is a typical murder mystery type of thing, but with all the characters played as Teens it does add a weird and goofy kinda feeling to it. With the mysterious mood of the film, it left me with a desire to know what happens next through out the entire film. After watching it, it keeps you thinking after everything comes together and makes sense in the end. The dialogue does alienate the audience a bit but it also doesn't. I would say the films dialogue does make it seem like it was for sure from a different time from today which gives it a quality of unfamiliarity but not too much to the point where it completely alienates the audience.I really liked the film from its mysterious mood and its slightly foreign dialogue. They do a great job of making a modern film noir and though it might not be an insanely high budget film the story was all around great and i wouldn't change a thing.

I think that Brick follows film noir it a more modern detective way. Like when he finds clues and beat up people to find more information.The tone of the film is dark. When you are watching you always not expecting whats going to happen. And if you think you know, you find out its not true.I think that the dialog is Strange and it makes it hard yo understand I didn't like the film because of the odd dialog and low budget filming
